Pretty good take on a difficult concept. I think what makes this game so challenging is that there are three different things for the player to control, and each is mapped to its own set of direction keys. It feels a bit like trying to play a game with three analog sticks. It's a little much to juggle for a fast-paced action game, but fortunately the action in this game moves relatively slowly. Still though, it's pretty manageable once you get the hang of things.

Really fun and creative. Could use a tutorial to learn about the controls, and more levels would have been nice!

It's an interesting idea but it's very hard to play. I think that the player could have more life and the objective is not that clear

If it feels too easy for the developer, it's just the right difficulty, as they say... I agree that the boss should have been clearer. Any idea how?

I thin that if you move the HP bar to the top of the screen is a good start

It is definitely confusing having to move around two... things but this makes the game a lot more engaging without being to complicated or difficult. The game definitely needs some polish and sfx but the core concept is worth more time.

Developer

Ah, thanks for the kind words! Any suggestions for polish?

Polish is kinda hard to define, you know if something is well polished if it is but it's also hard to call yout something specific to polish. I'd recommend just toying around with stuff like this and see if you can create a result that is just a little bit juicier!

I took me a while to wrap my head around it, but after that it was a quite unique experience!

Unique concept. It was difficult to wrap my head around the controls in the beginning but got used to them

Interesting mechanic, it took me a few tries to learn how to use it well. I like the concept and hope to see more stuff this creative in the future!
